And the plot thickens!
Yesterday, I painted the head and oil pan. The head had peeling paint from a coolant leak, and the oil pan was a bit scratched up. The engine had previously been repainted. I got my paint from Bill Hirsch, and I assumed what was on the engine was right. Nope! More blue less brown than the Hirsch green. So now what???? I'll have to decide if I pull the engine out for pressure wash, wire wheel, and paint, or try to paint in frame, or live with it? I guess we'll see how that goes...
Edit: may not be as bad as I thought. The head is freshly painted, the thermostat housing is not.
